All foreign nationals entering China must have a valid Chinese visa. Additionally, some exhibitors traveling to China may require Letters of Invitation for their visa application. We are happy to provide Letters of Invitation from the China Ministry of Agriculture to our valued exhibitors.

Due to the size and success of China Fisheries & Seafood Expo, disreputable contractors will attempt to sell their services by unauthorized use of the official CFSE logo. In order to avoid these businesses, we highly recommend that you use only official contractors recommended by CFSE. While CFSE does not require the use of official contractors, if exhibitors choose to use unofficial contractors, they do so at their own risk.

All the resources you need to make your
experience at CFSE as productive as possible
